Coinbase AI code: Over 40% of Coinbase’s production code is now AI-generated, accelerating engineering output and shifting hiring toward AI-skilled developers. Coinbase plans to raise that share toward 50% while keeping human review and safety controls central to deployment.
AI now writes 40%+ of Coinbase’s code
Engineers use tools like Copilot, Claude Code and Cursor to refactor and ship code faster.
Coinbase continues hiring ~350 roles, with 93 backend positions emphasizing AI skills.
Coinbase AI code: Over 40% of Coinbase’s code is AI-generated. See how this shifts engineering, hiring demand and developer productivity—read now for insights.
What percentage of Coinbase’s code is AI-generated?
Over 40% of Coinbase’s codebase is currently AI-generated, according to CEO Brian Armstrong. The company reports this proportion has more than doubled since April and may approach 50% soon, with human review and testing required before deployment.
How is Coinbase integrating AI into developer workflows?
Coinbase engineers routinely use AI coding tools—Copilot, Claude Code and Cursor—to assist with refactors, upgrades and new builds. These tools enable single engineers to complete work that previously required months in a matter of days, improving throughput while preserving code reviews and testing.

Brian Armstrong highlighted the rise in AI-generated lines of code and emphasized responsibility: not all areas can use AI-generated code and human oversight remains essential. Armstrong also indicated a workforce strategy focused on making employees “AI-Natives” rather than mass replacement.
Despite increasing AI use, Coinbase lists roughly 350 job openings, nearly half targeting hard technical skills. About 93 backend engineering roles explicitly reference AI skills in job descriptions, reflecting demand for developers who can apply AI tools responsibly.
Hiring in crypto has tightened since 2022, but large-scale layoffs have eased. Recruiters note AI is attracting talent and capital, but most industry experts—including PwC researchers and tech leaders—argue AI will boost productivity rather than trigger immediate mass job losses.
Coinbase requires review, testing and understanding of AI-written code before integration. The firm enforces human code review, targeted testing, and limits AI usage in sensitive systems to maintain security and compliance standards.
